The OECD's Pillar Two GloBE rules published in December 2022 provide a
mechanism for jurisdictions to collect a minimum amount of tax in each
jurisdiction where a Multinational Enterprise (MNE) operates. Such rules are
applied on a jurisdictional level to provide a Top-Up Tax in such jurisdiction
where the effective tax rate falls below the minimum threshold. Before any
charging provisions may apply to determine GloBE income and any Top-Up Tax,
MNE Groups must first determine whether they are required to comply with the
GloBE rules.
First, the MNE Group must have earned EUR 750 million in consolidated revenue
in two of the prior four testing years (i.e., the MNE Group must meet a required
minimum threshold in earnings). Thus, purely domestic groups or groups earning
lower than the threshold should not be subject to the GloBE rules.
Second, the GloBE rules will only apply to those entities within the MNE Group
that constitute a Constituent Entity (CE) under Article 1.3. The flowcharts
below
help to provide a roadmap as to what entities qualify as a CE for purposes of
applying the GloBE rules, including Minority-Owned CEs, Partially-Owned CEs,
and JVs. The flowcharts also provide a roadmap to the types of Flow-
Though Entities and Hybrid Entities.

Capital?
If there is no applicable Tax Treaty in force, is it a place of
business (including a deemed place of business) in respect of
which a jurisdiction taxes under its domestic law the income
attributable to such place of business on a net basis similar to
the manner in which it taxes its own tax residents?
If a jurisdiction has no corporate income tax system, is it a
place of business (including a deemed place of business)
situated in that jurisdiction that would be treated as a
permanent establishment in accordance with the OECD Model
Tax Convention on Income and on Capital provided that such
jurisdiction would have had the right to tax the income
attributable to it in accordance with Article 7 of that model?
Is it a place of business (or a deemed place of business) that is
not already described above through which operations are
conducted outside the jurisdiction where the Entity is located
